Being respectful of your neighbors, is a must. If (DPH) Department of Public Health deems your bees a nuisance or you are unable to work out a compromise with your neighbors, (Neighbors must be willing to compromise) all hives must be removed, period.

Excessive hives will be considered an agricultural business and not permitted.

Beekeepers are passionate about the craft and have strong varied opinions. Do not criticize others for their methods or anyone who may not agree with you.

SFBA’s EC/Board will take a position on any disagreements between the City and any beekeeper. We are not a safe haven for rogue beekeepers
